We are finishing the year with our last tapestry - this one is bug-themed! Based on the book
Bugs in a Blanket, everyone made a unique bug. It's turning out so super cute!
What fun it was to write a bug-themed comic strip. I've noticed that a lot of kids were checking out graphic novels during library and they were very interested in them. To get ready to write our own, we read a lot of graphic novels written for kids and books that use speech bubbles to tell stories, like
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. We talked about how both stories and what the characters say tell a story and how to write and draw the speech bubbles.
The gender differences really came out in the stories! All of the girl's comics are sweet about love, marriage, and friendship. The boys have some fighting and challenges going on in them.
Everyone had fun illustrating the bug opposite book.
A lot of time recently has been spent on consonant blends. In the Blends Book, the kids chose a few favorite blends and wrote a word and illustration to represent the blend.
We reflected on the year with a Memory Page for our journals. We learned a lot in SK this year!
